Her series Noises is about femininity and British dancehall culture.

Life and work

[edit]

Ribeira, originally from Galicia Spain, currently lives and works in the UK.[2] She initially studied media and graphic design, earning a degree from the BAU School of Design in Barcelona,[3] before deciding to become a photographer.

In 2016, she graduated from the University of South Wales with a first-class honors BA in Documentary Photography. Since graduating, she has been a guest lecturer at the University of Westminster, University of the West of England, and Complutense University of Madrid.[3]

In 2015, she was awarded the Firecracker Photographic Grant for her project Noises in the Blood (also known as Noises). Produced between 2015 and 2019, it is inspired by Jamaican dancehall culture in the UK.[1][4][5][6] The title is a reference to the book Noises in the Blood: Orality, Gender, and the”Vulgar” Body of Jamaican Popular Culture by author and literary scholar Dr. Carolyn Cooper.[7]
